How to pick the Best Cryptos??
The trend is your friend. This is a very old but true quote.
Why is that?
• The vast majority of big winning cryptos and other securities made the largest portion of their gain in a Stage 2 uptrend
• Evidence that institutions are buying
• Increase probability of success
• Know what to expect under specific conditions – point of reference
Your goal is not to buy at the lowest price – It’s to buy at the right price!
Every crypto and other security go through the same maturation cycle - it starts at stage 1 and ends at stage 4 as shown in the chart.
Stage One – Neglect Phase – Consolidation
Stage Two – Advancing Phase – Accumulation
Stage Three – Topping Phase – Distribution
Stage Four – Declining Phase – Capitulation
Our JS-TechTrading strategy focuses on identifying cryptos and other securities in stage 2 uptrends for our LONG-strategies, and stage 4 downtrends for our SHORT-strategies.
By doing that, we create an edge over long-term investors and less proficient traders. By focusing on cryptos and other securities in a stage 2 uptrend (LONG-strategies), and focusing on cryptos and other securities in a stage 4 downtrend (SHORT-strategies) we avoid losing money or breaking even over a long period of time and we are fully invested when cryptos and other securities are in a confirmed up-/downtrend so that we can accumulate money within the shortest period of time.

But how can we use technical chart analysis can be used to identify cryptos and other securities in a stage 2 uptrend, and in a stage 4 downtrend?
🍾🍾 3x US investment champion Mark Minervini 🍾🍾 developed the so-called Trend-Template which can be used to screen for cryptos and other securities in confirmed up- and downtrends.
TradingView provides all of the relevant tools to automate this screening process. ✌️✌️ The following section summarizes the technical characteristics which must be met so that a stage 2 uptrend for a stock can be confirmed:
Trend-Template to confirm a STAGE 2 Uptrend
1. Stock price is above both the 150-day (30-week) and the 200-day (40-week) moving average price lines.
2. The 150-day moving average is above the 200-day moving average.
3. The 200-day moving average line is trending up for at least 1-month (preferably 4-5 months minimum).
4. The 50-day (10-week moving average) is above both the 150-day and the 200-day moving averages.
5. The current stock price is at least 25% above its 52-week low. (Many of the best selections will be 100%, 300% or even greater above their 52-week low before they emerge from a sound consolidation period and mount a large-scale advance).
6. The current stock price is within at least 25% of its 52-week high (the closer to a new high the better).
7. Current price is trading above the 50-day moving average (exception “Low Cheat” setups
Trend-Template to confirm a STAGE 4 Downtrend
The same logic applies here:
1. Stock price is below both the 150-day (30-week) and the 200-day (40-week) moving average price lines.
2. The 150-day moving average is below the 200-day moving average.
3. The 200-day moving average line is trending down for at least 1-month (preferably 4-5 months minimum).
4. The 50-day (10-week moving average) is below both the 150-day and the 200-day moving averages.
5. The current stock price is at least 25% below its 52-week high.
6. The current stock price is within at least 25% of its 52-week low (the closer to a new low the better).
7. Current price is trading below the 50-day moving average.
We at JS-TechTrading only consider cryptos and other securities for our watchlists which are meeting all characteristics of Minervini's trend-template. This screening process in itself provides us with a significant competitive edge versus most other traders are doing.
In the next tutorials, I will explain how automated trading robots can be applied to cryptos and other securities on our watchlists.
